Hello, I'm not entirely ceratin how much info i can give in terms of replication.
I am running the game on a ryzen 5 3600 and a gtx 1080ti with 16GB of system RAM

The game runs completely as normal until about 15-20 minutes of gameplay, or leaving on the main screen. At this point the game will begin to lag drastically and stutter, making everything move in pulses, until the entire screen cuts to black and my system completly stops responding.
My keyboard and interface still have power, but the game cannot be closed, or tabbed out, and all audio from the computer is gone.
I have no idea why, this is the only game it happens in. The only way to solve it is to completely restart the pc.

To Do • Priority: Low • Fix: None

Some players experience random crashes and freezes when running shapez 2 with DirectX 12. The issue occurs intermittently during normal gameplay after setting the graphics API to DirectX 12.

Massive performance issues (possibly due to fluid predictions)
Done • Priority: Highest • Fix: 4 - Early Access • Resolution: Done

The game experiences severe performance issues including massive lag, FPS drops, and complete freezing that occurs suddenly during gameplay. The issue appears to be related to fluid Shape Previews on Conveyor Belts. The performance degradation is so severe it makes the game uncomfortable or unplayable. Multiple users have reported this same issue. A temporary workaround exists by switching to simple prediction mode, though this reduces the accuracy of fluid predictions.

Done • Priority: High • Fix: None • Game: 1.0.0-alpha5-rc2 • Resolution: Cannot Reproduce

The crashes occurred on a laptop with a 4050 GPU while running DirectX 12, happening at random intervals during various in-game actions. Log analysis revealed a savegame version mismatch error and a separate exception in the achievement logic during research upgrades. The issue appeared to resolve after the user switched from Direct...

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
To Do • Priority: Medium • Fix: None • Game: 1.0.0-rc2

A NullReferenceException crash occurs in shapez 2, causing the game world to blank out while the UI interface remains visible. The crash was auto-generated from a Unity Cloud report. The reporter's PC is noted to be prone to crashing, potentially due to mixed RAM configurations and a degradation-prone CPU, suggesting the issue may be hardware-related rather than a software bug.
